Intro:

Hello fellow PC members. My name is Alignment, I'm back with a new hack that I'm going to start up. I started a hack called Pokémon Celestium almost a year back. I was forced to put it on pause because of my school life. However, a couple of weeks ago when I touched it again, I realized that I lacked the skill I once had to continue it without dropping it's overall quality. Thus I started this hack in hopes that I can pick up some of the things I before I head back to working on Celestium. In other words this is a practice hack (though that doesn't mean I'm not going to put in any effort into it because I will).

Judging by the screenshots, you seem to be able to continue Celestium anytime you want

Anyway, my opinion is that if you're going to make Celestium, don't start this other project because it's only going to be in the way. Choose either one.

Yeah, unless Celestium is REALLY complicated, which would be odd since no hacks are that complicated, I would suggest going back to that one. Not because this one's bad or anything, just for your general interests.

This hack looks good though, except for the grass palette. Try tinkering with it a little bit. Of course, I'm just saying that because I spend hours on mine and expect perfect palettes.

I never heard of Celestium, but anyway, this is looking good. I agree with the grass palate; tad bright there...

Well, if you're still going to take on this hack, good luck to you. However,like the others have said, don't let this get in the way of your other hack.
(Don't know if I can ask this for sake of going slightly off-topic, but how much effort did you out in Celestium by the way?)

Well, I'm already in it pretty deep, and honestly speaking I forgot a lot of the scripting stuff, yesterday I stumbled upon an old script and had a hard time try to figure out what some of the commands were (I don't usually comment my scripts). I also forgot the basic ASM that I knew. I've been working with object oriented programming and all this seems a tad bit random to me.

Thanks for the concern/praise, appreciated.

Wow, now that I look at it I see what you mean. The grass palettes are a little bit too bright. I'll get around to fixing that sometime today, thanks for pointing it out.

Well, it almost a year old since any content for it had been released so I don't blame you for not knowing. I spent about 4-5months working on it in a daily basis, thanks for you feed back.

Updates:

Alright, first off I'd like to say that I do plan on continuing this hack until it is finished (Which I don't expect to be too long). After this it's Celestium. I'll be sure to control my priorities.

Sprite updates can be seen within the screenshots, I've only done one of the rival sprites in the update below (I have the other wone done as well, but another update for another time).

Screens:

End of the first root :D

Auqnata city. Talking to a fisher man dude

Stan the nerd, lives in a makeshift library.

Little bit of Slowpoke comedy

Rival, I think his over world came out pretty well. I beat him though :D

My failed attempt at spriting him.

Start of route 2, north end refers to the top, the bottom of route two is at the exit of View Point Cave.

Entrance to viewpoint cave

----------------------------------------------------

Please ignore the bright grass, I will fix it :D
